In 1940,
American Heartland Pictures, once a great studio producing hybrid
talking/silent Shakespeare films, is now gushes forth the cheesiest, crappiest,
lousiest low-budgetest serial adventures in the industry. And that’s fine with
Farley Rottenwood, the immigrant-turned-sort-of-mogul who bought the place and
kept the owner’s widow on as Girl Friday. But, while he produces his greatest—albeit
most inept-- serial adventure (which you get to read!)—his wife is cheating on
him, his staff are dropping like flies, and Nazi agents are producing
pro-German propaganda right behind his back…and believe it or not, this is funny!
